Airbus vs. Boeing regarding safety?
Why do people love Boeing so much vs. Airbus? I don't care where the airplane is made, as long as it has a great safety record. Do some research or watch Air Investigations on YouTube, 99% of the crashes that occur are from Boeing aircraft. Why do people feel safer in those planes?
Yeah I know there are more...

Yeah I know there are more Boeing out there but it seems like Boeing is only 55% of the airline industry today. The older planes aren't usable anymore. Even though Boeing has a 5% more share in the world, that's no excuse to their horrible safety record in my opinion. Regarding Airbus, some say that they don't like it because pilots have no control or whatever. I am training with an Airbus and I find it an excellent plane. Maybe because I haven't used Boeing too much can explain why I like the Airbus cockpit better according to older people who will be responding, but keep in mind that most of the flight, autopilot is used and all of the turns and speed controls are inputted to the system. The only time you are touching the yoke, rudder and speed is when you are taking off and landing, and during emergency stuff as well, such as an emergency descent. But I don't see what I will need that Airbus doenst allow me to do.
Personally I do my best to avoid flying Boeing planes, and I am a very frequent flier. I stick with airbus and embrear. There were actually three cases where the Boeing 737 had a rudder control issue which caused two plane crashes. It took 10 years for the investigation to finally close the investigation and conclude that under certain circumstances, the rudder will fail. This was fixed, but what about the people who lost their lives? There may have been more, but I know that twice on Boeing, the cargo door shut opened out of nowhere because it wasnt closed properly, and two more times the entire aircraft's ceiling (from a few rows of seats) just came right off during flight.
After all these accidents how can people continue to trust Boeing? I really do not understand.

Update:
Even though most of the times the incident is due to human error, that's no excuse. When these human errors occur on Airbus, nothing happens to the plane. Apparently they have clearer instructions on how to maintain the plane.
